Movable Type enhances user experience and provides a cost effective solution to growing businesses
NEW YORK CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Continuing its ?Creating Momentum? campaign in North America, Movable Type, the legendary blogging platform developed by Six Apart, today announced the launch of the hosted and managed versions of its software with partner ArckCloud. ArckCloud provides customized, fully tailored cloud computing and managed hosting solutions that allow Movable Type's customers to quickly deploy their site to the cloud. As a result of Movable Type?s partnership with Arckcloud, a one-click install will get any user up and running on Movable Type.
?This is one big step in the right direction to repositioning Movable Type as the leading content management platform in North America.?
?Our research, ranging in scope from enterprise customers down to the small business owner and individual blogger, indicated we needed to introduce a simpler, streamlined version of Movable Type in the marketplace,? said Robert Minton, general manager of Movable Type North America. ?We engaged customers, listened to their feedback and now offer a solution that makes it easy to get up and running on Movable Type in a cost-effective manner for the growing business.?
?Having been long-time users of Movable Type, we couldn?t be more excited to be partnering with the company,? said Paul Stewart, founder and director of development, Arckcloud. ?Everybody in America loves a comeback, and we want to be part of that and help make Movable Type easier to use and better than ever.? For the users that want to manage Movable Type on their own, but don?t have the time to spend installing it on a server, Movable Type Pro will also be available in the Amazon Marketplace this fall. Movable Type Pro is designed specifically for bloggers, design and development firms, and small and medium-sized businesses, and has all of the features of Movable Type plus social networking features, custom fields and new professional templates.
With help from partners like ArckCloud, Movable Type continues to improve and expand its features to better serve its customers. ?This new service and partnership is part of an ongoing effort to improve Movable Type user experience across the board,? Minton added. ?This is one big step in the right direction to repositioning Movable Type as the leading content management platform in North America.?
To culminate the hard work and series of improvements and upgrades, Movable Type will host the Movable Type Idea Exchange, in conjunction with the 2013 Pivot Conference at Social Week in New York City, on October 15th and 16th, 2013.
